Top Ten F.U.N. HeroClix of 2016: No. 5

Morlock [Uncanny X-Men 008]

  • Is the figure FRIENDLY and FELLOWSHIP-worthy? Only a single click of life means a fun game. And if played at the 10-point level, the opponent gets to choose which click of life to deal with. Level: HIGH
  • Is this figure still USEFUL and full of UTILITY anyway?  That said, each click of life is going to be of concern. Do they pick:
    — the 5-range Energy Exploder? That 10 AV could hurt someone.
    — the Plasticity dial? With 17 Reflexes, he’s a frightfully effective tie-up for almost no points.
    — Leap/Climb + Blades/Claws/Fangs? That 10AV could REALLY hurt someone.
    — the Running Shot Morlock? 9 AV isn’t scary, but do you want to give out more shooting?
    — The Flurry+Shape Change guy? Again, it’s only 9AV, but more attacks is more attacks.
    — The Super-Strong Charger? 10 points to deal 4 clicks with a heavy is ridiculous.
    As you can see, there’s no choice they can pick that isn’t probably an advantage for you, especially with Morlock having traited Stealth as well. And at the 15 point cost, you can field multiples of your favorite dial. Level: MODERATE
  • Does this figure have a NEATO or NIFTY or NICHE or NERDCORE appeal?  These guys are kinda dull, though, only fitting a single niche keyword, Morlocks. Level: MODERATELY LOW

They may be ugly, but they’re F.U.N. as heck.
